Audio Groups are very useful in connection with Follow. Consider a typical scenario:
Two participants are behind a sports desk. Cameras 1, 2 and 3 are left, center
and right views, and there are individual close up cameras as well – 4 and 5.
An external audio mixer is connected to TriCaster at Audio Input 1.
Video clips will be played back from the DDR on demand.
Audio from Input 1 need to be heard whenever any camera (1 through 5) is on output.
When we switch to the DDR, we want to hear DDR output exclusively.
To accomplish this, we simply need to assign Inputs 1 through 5 to the same group in the
mixer, and enable the Follow switch for input 1 and the DDR.
13.2 INTERNAL AUDIO
Figure 217
Besides external audio sources, sounds played from TriCaster's internal storage volumes
(including removable media such as external hard drives or 'thumb' drives) via the content
players (DDR, etc.) can be added to the output mix.
